-The ISO codes used include: <code></code> and <code></code> .
+There are about 1 million speakers of Tigre who live mainly in western and northern highlands of Eritrea, as well as the lands adjacent to Sudan. Some other languages that the Tigre people may know include Ge'ez and Tigrinya. as there is high lexical similarity between these languages. Information about the transmission of Tigre to current and future generations is not available, but the orthography of Tigre utilizes the Tigre alphabet as well as the Arabic script. However, since 1889, the Ge'ez script has been used to write the Tigre language. The ISO code used for Tigre is <code>tig</code>.

 '''Morphological Typology'''
-Navajo is a language that consists of many morphological typologies. Navajo has a large inventory of phonemes, including several consonants that are not found in English. It has four basic vowels that can be distinguished for the following three characteristics: nasality, length, and tone. In addition to this, Navajo has both agglutinative and fusional elements. This is because it relies on affixes to modify verbs and the nouns are derived from multiple morphemes. In both cases, these morphemes are created irregularly, and the patterns are not easily recognizable

In both cases, these morphemes are created irregularly, and the patterns are not easily recognizable. Navajo also has a high ratio between morphemes and words, and paired with the fact that the majority of words cannot stand alone, Navajo also has polysynthetic morphology.

−	Navajo is spoken by nearly 330,000 native Navajos. It is most widely spoken by Native Americans in the Southwest United States, and is a Southern Athabaskan language of the Na-Dené family. Some other languages that Navajo speakers may be familiar with include Spanish and English. As of now, the transmission to current and future generations is low and the language has struggled to maintain a healthy base of speakers. However, this issue has been solved to some degree through educational programs within Navajo Nation, a Native American territory. Their orthography utilizes Latin, which is used as the Navajo alphabet. In addition to this, Navajo Braille is another name for their orthography. The ISO codes used include: <code>nv</code> and <code>nav</code>.	+	Navajo is spoken by nearly 330,000 native Navajos.
